47573 The London Standard speeds past Chilson on the Cotswold Line with an additional Hereford to Paddington Network SouthEast service on 15 July 1990, on a Sunday when the line was being used to capacity by inter regional services diverted off the Banbury to Oxford line. Obviously in situations such as this the 14 mile single track section that the train is pictured on was a severe handicap. This location is still a reasonably good photographic spot, but in 2007 the amount of vegetation has increased somewhat! 47573 was the first of its class to be painted into the Network SouthEast colour scheme, which seemed revolutionary at the time. Subsequent liveries have made this seem quite restrained!
